Useful Shortcuts For Firefox

Here is a quick list of shortcuts that I commonly use to speed up my browsing experience. Most of these shortcuts should work on other modern browsers such as Opera and Chrome, however I haven’t tested them all yet. Feedback is most certainly appreciated.

Middle clicking (scroll wheel) a link will open it in a new tab. It will also close a tab. Holding ctrl while middle clicking will open it in the foreground

F6 highlights the address bar. Ctrl + l does the same but it also will select all the text (if only a portion of the url is highlighted)

Ctrl+t to open a new tab with the focus on the address bar.

“/” opens quick find.

Ctrl+u to view the page’s source.

Ctrl+[tab] to switch between tabs, also holding shift reverses the direction.
